The miracle found in art, she suggests on the basis of a statement by Mark Rothko, is creative resolution while there is perhaps "no more to be said about painting’s seductive offering than [Gerhard] Richter’s tentative statement to the American curator and critic, Robert Storr: ‘A painting can help us think something that goes beyond this senseless existence’.

For me, the intense absorption, pleasure and satisfaction in using creativity is an integral part of mankind being made in the image of God. Whatever it is that floats your boat in this way, nurture and enjoy it - it is very precious, very special.

About Me

Between

This is a blog written while trying to live creatively between the times; between the death and resurrection of Christ and the expected consummation signified by the Kingdom of God. It features the people and things that inspire me to live creatively in the tension of the now and the not yet.
This blog is dedicated to the memory of my brother, Nick Evens, who died, together with 23 other aid workers and plane staff, when their UN-chartered plane crashed in Kosovo in 1999. Ex-59 commando, youthworker and firefighter, Nick had been working in Kosovo with Tear Fund's Disaster Response Team.
